Chapter 1020 - 372: Luo Qinglian, Primordial Heaven Opening Strategy!!

As far as the eye could see, it was all despairing gray and white.

The leaden gray clouds pressed low, as if ready to collapse at any moment.

The vast ice fields stretched out in all directions, meeting the deep blue ocean dotted with giant icebergs.

Between heaven and earth, only the roar of the wind and the occasional dull cracking sound from deep within the ice.

A group of people, like tiny black dots.

Trekking along the border of death between ice and sea.

Leading them was Fang Qingyu.

The battle suit covered in Star Point Tribulation Crystal remained unmoving in the cold wind, his eyes scanning the barren, dead land.

Half a step beside him was Jiang Wei with fiery red hair.

Wei Banmeng and other core members followed closely.

The chief in charge of Deep Blue Heavy Industries’ Arctic Front, Shen Zhou, wrapped in thick polar attire, wearing goggles, trudged beside Fang Qingyu.

"Captain Fang!"

Shen Zhou’s voice, muffled by the thick scarf, sounded somewhat deep and resonant.

He pointed to the relatively calm deep blue sea surrounded by giant icebergs.

Striving to make his voice sound confident.

"Look here, we’re about 150 kilometers from our Arctic Great Wall, not too far, theoretically, support would be timely in any situation. Plus, it’s adjacent to the main Arctic sea route, offering exceptional advantages for supply transports and future... uh, commercial potential! Let’s set our Dawn here, how about it?"

He looked at Fang Qingyu full of hope, trying to find agreement on the young leader’s face.

When Fang Qingyu decisively said to build the city beyond the Great Wall.

Shen Zhou’s first reaction was exactly like Old Man Hong’s.

Crazy! Absolutely crazy!

It’s like throwing money and life into a bottomless pit.

But Fang Qingyu’s repeated assurance.

Finally overwhelmed Shen Zhou’s inherent caution.

Take a gamble! What if it succeeds?

Then Deep Blue Heavy Industries would definitely skyrocket.

Fang Qingyu’s gaze swept over the sea area pointed out by Shen Zhou, his eyes calm and steady.

He slowly raised his hand, pointing slightly northeast of the indicated location.

"No."

Fang Qingyu’s voice pierced through the cold wind clearly.

"Not on this ice field. There it is."

Shen Zhou squinted his eyes, trying to see where Fang Qingyu pointed.

In the next moment, the color drained from his face instantaneously.

The eyes beneath the goggles widened to the brim.

The direction Fang Qingyu pointed to was the seemingly calm stretch of the sea.

There was no solid ice field to stand on, only the unfathomably deep cold seawater.

Several gigantic gray-white ice mountains, like small islands, floated in the distance where sea and sky met.

"Fang... Captain Fang!"

Shen Zhou’s voice changed pitch, filled with incredulous horror, he turned sharply to look at Fang Qingyu, "You mean to build at sea?!"

Fang Qingyu withdrew his hand, calmly nodding in response to Shen Zhou’s horrified gaze.

"Yes. I know this is a hell-level challenge in terms of construction difficulty."

"But if we are to defend this city, it can only be built there, it must be built there!"

"Hiss—"

Shen Zhou inhaled a breath of piercing cold air, feeling as if his heart had frozen.

Building a city on the ice field was already a hell-level difficulty, now to directly build on the perilous Arctic Ice Sea?!

How to defend against the endless, far more brutal and bizarre Life Ghosts in the sea during construction?

How to lay a foundation on the volatile seabed capable of supporting a gigantic city?

How to complete construction amidst extreme low temperatures, ice storms and iceberg collisions?

Each issue was enough to make one shy away.

All sorts of emotions left Shen Zhou at a loss for words momentarily.

Yet Fang Qingyu knew what Shen Zhou was thinking.

He turned his head, looking into Shen Zhou’s eyes.

A slight smile even tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Rest assured, Manager Shen, I said it can be defended, and it definitely will be."

This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline.

Shen Zhou recalled the cataclysmic fall of the star.

Remembering the miracles created by this young man before him, one after another.

Gamble!

Just gamble this time.

Bet on this young man’s ability to keep creating legends.

Shen Zhou bit down hard, muscles on his face twisting from exertion, gritted out two words:

"Let’s do it!!"

He forcefully wiped away the frost coalesced on his face.

"Following your lead, Captain Fang, let’s build on the sea, Deep Blue Heavy Industries will bet big with you on this."

Fang Qingyu’s smile deepened a bit.

He patted Shen Zhou’s solid shoulder: "Alright. During this construction period, all of us."

He glanced back at Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan and others, "Including me, will be your assistants. Any need for combat support, resource allocation, manpower assistance, feel free to speak up."

Upon hearing these words, the great burden in Shen Zhou’s heart finally settled somewhat.

With the mighty combat support of Fang Qingyu and those under him, who were like monsters guarding the journey.

At least some pressure on construction safety would be alleviated.

He nodded quickly: "With Captain Fang’s word, I, Shen Zhou, truly have confidence in my heart, Deep Blue will go all out!"

He took a deep breath of cold air, forcing himself to calm down.

His mind quickly started calculating the construction plan.

A moment later, a trace of difficulty crossed his face, he looked toward Fang Qingyu, carefully speaking: "Captain Fang, this sea building is unprecedented. Even with your strong help, the challenges ahead are mountainous. Preliminary estimates, the quickest timeline, would be three months! That’s still assuming everything goes smoothly without major Life Ghost attacks or extreme weather..."
